<<Sure, tell that to the (American) Indians. >> And maybe after that, we can tell the Eskimos and Allutes. And then after that, let's tell Peking Man. :-)

Excellent article by someone I don't particularly like: President Inflicting Chaos on Liberals 10/14/1998 By Patrick Buchanan IS William Jefferson Clinton the conscious agent of some vast right-wing conspiracy? Was he recruited by rightist professors at Georgetown to become a sleeper agent deep inside the Democratic Party -- to surface one day to lead it to destruction? What other explanation suffices? Under Clinton, the GOP in 1994 captured Congress for the first time since Dwight Eisenhower's first years in office. When the Asia-connection scandal broke in '96, the GOP extended its control to four years -- for the first time since the Calvin Coolidge administration. Last August, when the GOP looked as though it might lose the House, Clinton went before the grand jury and then confessed on TV to having deceived the nation for seven months. Now, the GOP is looking to November gains that may give the party more House and Senate seats than it has held since the Warren Harding era -- and, possibly, GOP governors in our 10 largest states. Ronald Reagan was the greatest Republican of his age. Yet he never came near accomplishing this. Decimation of Democrats aside, consider the moral confusion and chaos Clinton has inflicted on the House of Liberalism. Clinton has admitted to, or been credibly charged with, debauched behavior in the Oval Office with an intern half his age, groping a woman in distress, indecent exposure to an employee in Arkansas, turning his secretary into an "enabler" and unleashing his attack dogs on women with the courage to tell the truth about his prowlings. Still, feminists stand by their man. Who else could make Betty Friedan look like Mrs. Buttafuoco standing by Joey? "Policy prostitutes," one conservative lady has called the feminists. Few Democrats, any longer, bother to dispute the charges. To save Clinton, liberals are crafting the Doctrine of Permissible Perjuries for Democratic Presidents. The presidency, which Harry Truman once called "pre- eminently a place of moral leadership," is now apparently open to perjurers. On the final vote over whether there would even be an inquiry, 176 Democrats voted to ignore their constitutional duty and help cover up the most sordid scandal in U.S. history. Let us hear no more of liberalism's heroic role in ousting Richard Nixon. If oaths before God no longer matter, if honor, integrity and truthfulness no longer count, then there is no moral community. And where there is no moral community -- as in the Balkans -- politics becomes but a vicious and ignoble scramble for power. The Democratic Party is about to commit suicide -- for Bill Clinton. You explain it; I can't. oklahoman.com

That's right, and if the American Indians had "The Coward" in any tribe, he wouldn't be treated as warrior but as a squaw, at best.

With respect to you and the (American) (Indians). << <<a country...so mongrelized by other cultures...>> >> <<Sure, tell that to the (American) Indians. Everyone else descends from immigrants, after all.>> America is the name of the continent that the American Indians occupied before colonization and later establishment of this country the USA. After defeating many of the cultures and Indian nations the USA attempted to make peace and where possible absorb the American Indians into the USA culture. Do you have an alternative? You seem to imply there is one. I don't like the mongrelized term either. I think his point was that the spirit and letter of this country's (USA) original intent has been compromised through attempts to give a voice to cultures that weren't originally represented. You and I might disagree with him, that it is a bad thing. But it has nothing to do with telling that to the American Indians, unless you are trying to refresh the conditions that existed before colonization. Did I miss your point?
